Before and After Pregnancy Drawing

I tried to explain this to someone today and was inspired to doodle it.

You may think a new mother looks great but she may feel like a doughy, sweaty garden slug so under no circumstances should you make any negative comments about how she looks. She looks amazing. She built a whole person from scratch and got that person out of her body.

After my first I was bloated like a freak for a week. It was awful! and people kept saying, "Oh, you look so pretty, motherhood agrees with you" It would make me burst into tears because I just knew they were lying.
